We Are Still Here reflects the stories of 6 Tla'Amin survivors and 2 community members among many, fighting for language revitalization.
Resonating Reconciliation is a project that engages community radio to help reconcile all Canadians with the history of Indian Residential Schools, to help build grassroots skills among community-based broadcasters in respectful reporting on the ongoing legacy of Indian Residential Schools, and provide a lasting record of survivors’ experiences.

Any audio-visual aid, book, documentary, DVD, film, play, and radio/TV that tells about the Indian Residential School experience, legacy, and impact is setting the true history of Canada. Congratulations to the Community of Powell River in producing this broadcast.
